How this service works
European Medicines Agency (EMA) human medicine supply shortages (EMA shortages JSON): medicine, INN, shortage status, affected forms, availability of alternatives, start and expected resolution dates. Shortages only; safety signals and pharmacovigilance data are not included. Up to 20 per call.
Output
Returns up to 20 shortage records from the EMA database, each containing the medicine name, INN, current shortage status, affected pharmaceutical forms, availability of alternative medicines, and the shortage start and expected resolution dates.
Example use cases
Pharmacist checking drug availability
“I need to know if paracetamol infusion is currently in shortage in Europe — look up the EMA shortage data and tell me whether alternatives are available and when the shortage is expected to end.”
Healthcare procurement planning
“Search the EMA shortage records for insulin and show me up to 10 results — I need to know which forms are affected and the start and expected resolution dates so I can plan procurement.”
Patient counselling on medicine supply
“Can you check the EMA database for any current shortages of salbutamol inhalers and let me know the shortage status and if there are substitutes I can recommend to patients?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://api.healthtravel-api.workers.dev/api/health/ema-shortages-safety?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need current EMA-sourced medicine supply shortage data for European markets, including shortage status, affected forms, alternative availability, and resolution timelines. Prefer this over general web search when structured, machine-readable shortage records are needed for a specific drug name or INN. Note: this endpoint covers supply shortages only — not safety signals, pharmacovigilance alerts, or drug approvals.
Side effects
- Query string too short (under 2 characters) or too long (over 60 characters) returns a validation error
- No matching shortage records found for the search term returns an empty result set
- EMA data source unavailable or outdated may return stale or no data
- Invalid 'max' parameter (outside 1–20 range) may cause an error or be clamped to defaults
- Network timeout or upstream EMA API unavailability returns a service error
